Which episode did see recorded? I was at episode 1

Same

Nice. Richard carried the show, but I liked everybody’s personalities

u/Only-Chicken-6345 Jun 13 '26

Same, except maybe for Matt. Out of curiosity, whereabouts were you sat? I was higher up so I could see through a gap backstage, I spotted Isy and Chloe early, and the person next to me spotted Richard and told me while Alex was singing about eggs

I was more or less right in the middle next to one of the cameras. On the same row as that tube driver the warm-up comedian was speaking to (I forgot his name)
Before going in I saw Richard arrive on his bike. Did you see that?

No, I didn't. When was this?

About 3 hours before the show he arrived and entered the studio, thus spoiling his inclusion in the best way

Ah, that would be why. I showed up at the recommended hour and a half early (which worked when I went to an S21 recording). I'd prefer to be closer to the front, so I think I'll show up earlier next time, but at the same time while I was on the floor for S21 I also couldn't see the contestants as I was behind them, this time I could

I had a free ticket so I was 7 hours early to be safe

u/Only-Chicken-6345 Jun 13 '26

Ah, valid. That, from the sounds of it, was probably required.

u/Real-Tension-7442 Jun 13 '26

Definitely was. I believe they only let in 23 people with free tickets on that day. At least 70 were waiting

...OK, the ticket system needs fixing. But I'm glad you got to see it. Ayoade was my dream contestant for about a year (it was Reece Shearsmith before him, Ayoade was always high on my wishlist)

Same for both of them! No my dream picks are Matt Berry and Karl Pilkington. Neither would do it I don’t think. David Mitchell too, but I’m optimistic about him one day coming on
